Introduction

MSI MP54GBT3, the Wireless 11g + Bluetooth Combo miniPCI

Card, is a Type IIIB card, which can be used to integrate with

such systems as notebook, mini-barebone, PDA, portable PC.

With MSI MP54GBT3 embedded inside, a system could pro-

vide users with the ability and flexibility to connect up to Internet

wirelessly via 802.11g with speed up to 54Mbps, and to link

with peripherals wirelessly through BluetoothTM v2.0 and ad-

vanced EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) technology. BluetoothTM

v2.0 technology increases the data rate of BluetoothTM v1.1/1.2

from 1.0Mbps to 2.1Mbps.

MSI MP54GBT3 is taking advantage of leading technologies

from Ralink and CSR. It addresses the co-existence issues in

PAN (Personal Area Network) and WLAN (Wireless Local Area

Network) markets by providing true simultaneous connectivity

while deploying IEEE 802.11g and Bluetooth v2.0 Along with

this combo solution, a system installed with a single card is able

to offer dual mode capability of WiFi and BluetoothTM. It will

benefit system vendors in miniaturization of system dimension

and BOM cost reduction, as well as also make users happy with

the all-in-one functionality.

Using the Battery Pack

Battery Safety Tips

Replacing or handling the battery incorrectly may present a risk of fire or

explosion, which could cause serious injury.

w Only replace the main battery pack with the same or equivalent type of

battery.

w Do not disassemble, short-circuit or incinerate batteries or store them to

temperatures above +60° C (+140° F).

w Do not temper with batteries. Keep them away from children.

w Do not use rusty or damaged batteries.

w Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Check with your

local solid waste officials for details about recycling options or for proper

disposal in your area.

Conserving Battery Power

Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery

power is not managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.

Follow these tips to help optimizing battery life and avoid a sudden power loss.

w Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or

shorten the Suspend Timer’s time period.

w Turn off the system if you won’t be using it for a period of time.

w Disable unneeded settings or remove idle peripherals to conserve

power.

w Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.

Getting Started

Charging the Battery Pack

The battery pack can be recharged while it is installed in the Notebook. Please

pay attention to the following tips before recharging the battery:

w If a charged battery pack is not available, save your work and close all

running programs and shut down the system or Save-to-Disk.

w Plug in an external AC/DC power source.

w You can use the system, suspend system operation or shut down and

turn off the system without interrupting the charging process.

w The battery pack uses Lithium-ion battery cells that have no “memory

effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery pack before you

begin charging. However, to optimize the life of battery, we suggest

that consuming the battery power completely once a month is

necessary.

w If you do not use the Notebook for a long time, it is suggested to remove

the battery pack from your Notebook. This may be helpful to extend

your battery life.

w The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.

Knowing the Touchpad

The touchpad integrated in your Notebook is a pointing device that is compatible

with standard mouse, allowing you to control the Notebook by pointing the

location of the cursor on the screen and making selection with its two buttons.

1. Cursor Movement Area

This pressure-sensitive area of the touchpad, allows you to place your

finger on it and control the cursor on the screen by moving your finger.

2. Left Button

Acts as the mouse’s left button.

3. Right Button

Acts as the mouse’s right button.

4. Finger Print Identification (optional, for 87-key series only)

This area is for finger print identification.

Getting Started

Using the Touchpad

Read the following description to learn how to use the touchpad:

n Positioning and Moving

Place your finger on the touchpad (usually using the forefinger), and the

rectangular pad will act as a miniature duplicate of your display. When

you move your fingertip across the pad, the cursor on the screen will move

simultaneously in the same direction. When your finger reaches the edge

of the pad, lift your finger and replace it on a proper location of the

touchpad.

n Point and Click

When you have moved and placed the cursor over an icon, a menu item or

a command that you want to execute, simply tap slightly on the touchpad or

press the left button to select. This procedure, called as point and click is

the basics of operating your Notebook. Unlike the traditional pointing

device such as the mouse, the whole touchpad can act as a left button, so

that your each tap on the touchpad is equivalent to pressing the left button.

Tapping twice more rapidly on the touchpad is to execute a double-click.

n Drag and Drop

You can move files or objects in your Notebook by using drag-and-drop.

To do so, place the cursor on the desired item and slightly tap twice on the

touchpad, and then keep your fingertip in contact with the touchpad on the

second tap. Now, you can drag the selected item to the desired location

by moving your finger on the touchpad, and then lift your finger from the

touchpad to drop the item into place. Alternately, you can press and hold

the left button when you select an item, and then move your finger to the

Getting Started

desired location; finally, release the left button to finish the drag-and-drop

operation.

Move the

cursor by

sliding your

fingertip.

Put your wrist

on the desk

comfortably.

Using the Touchpad

Getting Started

n Configuring the Touchpad

You can customize the pointing device to meet your personal needs. For

example, if you are a left-hand user, you may want to swap the functions of

the two buttons. In addition, you can change the size, shape, moving

speed and other advanced features of the cursor on the screen.

To configure the touchpad, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2

driver in your Windows operating system. The Mouse Properties in

Control Panel allows you to change the configuration.
